Tim Farron rides a hovercraft and rules out being the next James Bond

LONDON — Tim Farron took a ride on a search-and-rescue hovercraft during a trip to Somerset, south-west England on Tuesday afternoon.

The Liberal Democrats leader Farron visited Burnham-on-Sea on the latest leg of his general election campaign, where he met volunteers at the Burnham Area Rescue Boat charity before taking a ride on the bright orange craft.

Farron, who this week has written an op-ed for Business Insider arguing why Brits should vote for his party on June 8, was greeted by Lib Dem activists as he arrived in Burnham-on-Sea today.
